As a small institution, we generally accept whatever a larger institution wants to use but we look for AOR commitment to:
- budget and scope of work for sub
- prime project sponsor, title and dates
- "enter into appropriate agreements" and comply with all sponsor policies
- standard debt, debarment etc assurance
- for NSF or PHS, the appropriate FCOI language

Increasingly our primes are using a standardized form (FDP maybe?) - we've now seen similar forms from Yale, UVM, Univ Alaska and maybe other primes.    We will probably consider requiring this form in the future.

I tried to attach a sample but list rejected the email.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Pre-award subaward documentation

Can you please share what your sponsored research office requires in terms of institutional endorsement for subawards for NIH and other sponsors? We are considering substituting/accepting a NIH or NIH-like face page as a substitute for an institutional Letter of Endorsement and would like to know what other offices use/accept.

Thank you.
